Mission Statement

Our Mission Statement, which is part of the Harvard Educational Plan, reflects high community standards and support for our schools. It reads: The Harvard Public Schools are dedicated to giving every student the opportunity and means to acquire essential and applicable knowledge in the content areas, and command of the critical reasoning and higher order thinking skills requisite for problem-solving, research, and continuous learning.

Complementary to its focus on students as learners, the schools are committed to helping students develop the interpersonal skills necessary for working effectively and cooperatively with others, and to become responsible school, community, and world citizens. In support of the realization of this mission, the schools will embody the community's standards and expectations.
